Take a Trip to Sunny San Diego, Time-Lapse Style [VIDEO]

We’ve recently featured some epic time-lapses that captured gorgeous star-lit skies over vast landscape backgrounds. But this stunning time-lapse video created by photographer Michael Shainblum, looks to explore the beauty created by man as it combines everything from glowing cityscapes and urban architecture while taking you on a journey through San Diego – through the eyes of one of its residents.

Michael explained his motivation behind the project:

Ever since I was a kid, I have always been mesmerized by extraordinary beauty of my hometown, San Diego. The city has many hidden treasures that have always captivated me, and they continue to do so. Most people only get to experience the tourism side San Diego, but I wanted to show the city through my own eyes and artistic vision. I wanted to showcase San Diego from the eyes of somebody who has lived there their entire life.

I lived there for a couple of years - back in the early 80's. I'm sure I would hardly recognize the place now. When I moved out there from Florida I found it to be not all that different. Loved the beaches down that way!
